Frequent Questions

• Why 'ReFra'?
  • Refra is a short form of 'refraction', which is the bending of light when it passes through different mediums. This app aims to refract our perception of media files, making them more accessible and easier to manage.
• What is the offline variant?
  • The offline variant is a version of the app with all online features removed — maps, cloud provider support (Immich, ownCloud, etc.), and any functionality that requires an internet connection, even on a local network. This is useful for users who want a fully self-contained gallery with no network permissions.
• Why Google Play version is 'Paid'?
  • It's just another way to support the project while getting back automatic updates via Google Play
• Why Android 11 is the minimum version required?
  • Some Media features and APIs require Android 11 as a minimum version [Trash feature, most APIs used in the app]
• Will you support lower android versions?
  • While this is not a priority right now, I do have in mind to include support for lower Android versions at a cost of reduced features. If anyone volntueers to do so before me can request a pull request.
